Ron Paul has had the poorest showing in the bible belt states, even though he is a pro-life Christian! Here's an interesting piece by a Christian talk show host about why.
And here's another article about how many Christians are considering supporting the Constitution Party because they are so unhappy with McCain's probable nomination. Ahem - what about Mr. Constitution himself, Ron Paul?!? I suppose they don't approve of his unwillingness to force his morality on others (at home or abroad) using the force of government.
And finally - a bit from Anthony Gregory (who is pro-life and anti-state) in reference to some people's criticism of Ron Paul's stance on the Federal govt's role re: abortion:
"Ron Paul thinks the first step the president should take in his official capacity on abortion is to admit he has no say on it, no jurisdiction — it should not be up to the emperor of the "free world" to eradicate sins even as egregious as Ron views abortion. And yet he does speak out against it — which is an appropriate and completely non-invasive way for politicians to try to influence popular opinion and, thus, change society. And he's indeed the only candidate proposing a way to actually circumvent Roe v. Wade -- through simple Constitutional congressional action -- rather than holding it out as carrot to keep the religious right supporting his campaign. If conservatives were really pro-life, and pro-Constitution, his would be the only candidacy they could back. Of course, they aren't."
